Senator Hawley of Connecticr

Senator Hawley of Connecticut
recently delivered an interesting
address before the students of Ham
ilton College, in which are some
points which deserve extended pub
lication. He spoke against discon
tent with the present,4the agitation
for constant change, especially as
relating to socialism and anarchy.
eve demand respect for law and
government" said Senator Hawley,
"from those who would destroy all
government and solidify all prop
crtY. get very impatient with
those men who sheer at politics and
politicians, who joke at the purity
of womanhood and the sanctity of
the church. There is no more hon
est work done in the United States
than is done in the Government.
The people believe this while they
say to the contrary. This is why
they ask the Government, although
it would be great mistake, to take
charge of banks, railroads and tele-
graph lines"
Further he continues, GAS educa-
ted young men, you must not forget
that the Lord and your country
have demands on you for what you
have of talent. To be politician
in the best sense is second only to
being minister of the Lord Jesus
Christ. The most cowardly thing
on Gods footstool is to run away
from your Government. Though
you may not be an active politician
keep informed in matters of politics.
Always go to the caucus, the begin
ming of government. Know what
is being done and see that it is done
rightly. Do your duty everywhere
as scholars and American citizens
and everywhere above the plume
and the bayonet shall wave the
lilies and palms of love and peace. "

Frogs and Mira

That frogs have formidable enemy in
the common mouse is evidenced by the
following incident. A correspondent of
Nature, Mr.. w. August Garter, Of South
Norwood, states that he observed several
mice pursuing some frogs in 4 shed which
was overrun with these reptiles. The
alacrity of the latter, however, rendered
the attacks of the mice futile for con-
siderable period. Again and again the
frogs escaped from the clutches Of their
foes, but only to be rccaptured, severely
shaken and bitten. The energy put forth
by these reptiles was so great that they
actually swayed their captors to and fro
in their efforts TO wrcst themselves from
their grasp. At length the wounds in-
fiicted upon them rendered the frogs In
capable of further resistance, and they
were easily oyerpowered by the mice,
which devoured certain part of them.

ABOLISH THE BRIDGE TOLLS.

ABOLISH THE BRIDGE TOLLS.
Our Canaan correspondent reports
a general feeling of Indignation ex-
listing there on account OF the action
taken by the directors of the Bridge
Co., in increasing the tolls, and hints
at the possibility of another bridge
being built. We have for long
time wondered why the people of
the great valley of'the Connecticut,
who, both sides of which, are iden-
teal in habits, customs and employ
ments should be annoyed by this
ancient custom of collecting tolls.
The tolls are trifing in themselves,
but, like gnats and feas, they are
ievilish annoying, and are constant
ly fretting and chatting people in
their intercourse with each other,
in the same village perhaps. They
interrupt and clog the blood in the
veins of village situated on the
Connecticut precisely as a toll
bridge would operate located in the
midst of the business part of Mont
pelicr, which would be to interrupt
the business circulation Of that vii
lage just long enough to make it free
either by legal means, or an instan-
taneous riot. We hope the remarks
by our correspondent will stir up
the dry bones of this fossilated old
system.

Voraci.y of tho Catfish.

Senator Kenra tells q story which iilus-
trates the v0racity Of the catfish He SAYS
that on u fishing excursion up on New
River, in West Virginia, enc of the party
caught three catfish, each several sizes
larger than the o'her. AS it happened,
the largest was caught first, the next in
size second and the smallest last, and they
were strung in that order ard placed in
the water Upon removing the sting it
was found that the second fish on tbs
string had attempted to swallow his small
Ter brother, and while he was PERFORMING
that feat the mig fellow at the bottom was
engaged in swallowing b)th the others
Kenua declares that anybody who knows
anything OF the greediness of catfish will
readily believe this story.
DR.. Henry Mowers Of Highland Park,
Ill, tells the following story, and friend
vouches for its truth;
about half mile west Of my place 10

some unaccountable manner with game
